Chapter 83
Tang Dynasty, Zhenguan period.
Li Shimin felt a palpitation in his heart when he looked at Zhu Di, who was heavily surrounded by armored soldiers.
Being surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, the terrain of Dongchang was very mountainous, which was not conducive to the cavalry at all. Li Shimin could imagine that Zhu Di would probably die in the battle before long.
Even when his 3,000 Xuanjia troops attacked the 100,000 Xia troops, it was because they were in open terrain, and all of them were heavy cavalry, fully armed, and it was a deliberate battle.
Only in this way can Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops be defeated in one fell swoop.
But now, Zhu Di has completely fallen into a trap. With Sheng Yong's ability, I am afraid he will never let Zhu Di off easily.
Yuchi Jingde saw the situation in mid-air and shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty, how can Zhu Di compare with you?"
"Thinking back to the time when the two of us fought with one bow and one spear, and treated a million-strong army as if it were nothing, what could Zhu Di do?"
"In such a situation, if you are not sure about rushing out, then Zhu Di will definitely die."
"Don't talk nonsense about respecting virtue. Zhu Di will be the future Emperor Yongle and will never die here."
Li Shimin scolded softly and said:
"I just don’t know how Zhu Di will escape? Could it be like last time, with God’s blessing?"
Li Shimin thought of how during the Battle of Baigouhe, strong winds arose from the ground and blew off the Confederate army's banner, which allowed Zhu Di to turn defeat into victory.
In this critical situation, without God's blessing, I am afraid Zhu Di would really die here..Ming dynasty
"Fourth child, we just finished scolding Li Jinglong, why are you so stupid?"
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Zhu Di was so complacent that he was finally surrounded by Sheng Yong in the center. He couldn't help but cursed angrily:
"Arrogant soldiers will be defeated. Since ancient times, being arrogant has been a taboo for military strategists."
"You don’t understand Sheng Yong at all, how dare you underestimate the enemy and advance rashly?"
"You knew there was an ambush ahead of Sheng Yong, but you still jumped in. Could it be that your kid's head was kicked by a donkey?"
"If you underestimate your opponent and are complacent, you will still deserve it even if you die in Dongchang!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, but the concern in his tone was still palpable.
"Dad, it’s not that I’m arrogant, it’s that this kid Sheng Yong is too good at pretending."
Zhu Di was also a little speechless. He looked at himself fighting bloody battles and said:
"Who would have thought that this guy would put out so many baits to lure me into taking the bait?"
"What's more, I've never heard his name"
"There are so many young talents in Yingtian, which one do I not recognize? How many of our descendants of famous Ming generals don’t recognize me?"
"Sheng Yong's name is so mediocre that no one can even notice him."
"That's because you're too stupid!! Zhu
Yuanzhang was still angry and cursed, saying:
"From ancient times to the present, those who judge others by their appearance will bring disgrace upon themselves."
"You actually named people by their names, which is even more stupid. Seeing that Zhu
Yuanzhang was about to criticize Zhu Di again, Zhu Biao quickly changed the subject and said:
"Father, since this Sheng Yong is a talented person, we should recruit him into the army as soon as possible for training. Maybe he can become a famous general in the future."
"Biao'er is right. Zhu
Yuanzhang nodded slightly, and then said:
"Feng Sheng, I will leave this person to you. Sheng Yong’s character is different from your imagination.."
"You will surely be able to cultivate this person into a talented person."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Feng Sheng at the bottom of the steps, and Feng Sheng bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang and agreed:
"I obey the decree"
【Because Zhu Di underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, he was trapped in a tight siege and was surrounded by the Southern Army.】
【In fact, there were still a large number of Southern troops on the outside of the encirclement. However, because the main general was surrounded, the Yan army was leaderless and they didn't know what to do for a while.】
【Seeing that Zhu Di was about to die on the spot, Zhu Di's fierce general Zhu Neng stepped forward.】
【This is an extremely fierce man who is not afraid of death. He knows that if Zhu Di is not brought out, the Yan army may be defeated, and the overall situation will be unable to recover.】
【After learning the direction in which Zhu Di was being surrounded, Zhu Neng did not hesitate at all. With only his own soldiers, he rushed into the encirclement of hundreds of thousands of Southern troops.】
【Throughout the ages, how many fierce generals have been able to treat hundreds of thousands of troops as if they were nothing? Zhu Di is lucky to have such a strong general to assist him.】
【This time, Zhu Neng led thousands of elite soldiers to rampage among the southern army. In the end, he was actually allowed to find and fight Zhu Di among the rebels, and led Zhu Di to fight out of the siege.】
【This is really an incredible thing. You must know that the battlefield where hundreds of thousands of people are fighting is an extremely vast area. In such a chaotic situation, Zhu Neng was lucky enough to find Zhu Di and lead Zhu Di to fight out. It can be said that Zhu Di’s life should not be cut off】
【The commander-in-chief of the Southern Army was furious after learning that Zhu Di had escaped. He did not expect that Zhu Di would jump out of the trap he had designed so carefully. Since Zhu Di had escaped, he would attack the Yan army soldiers and not let any of them escape. Walk!】
【As the saying goes, every loss must have a gain. Although the trap set by Sheng Yong failed to catch Zhu Di, it caught another person. This person was Zhu Di's number one general, Zhang Yu.】
【Zhang Yu followed Zhu Di very early. He was not only brave and good at fighting, but also a man of literary and military skills. He was proficient in everything. He was a rare handsome man.】
【After learning that Zhu Di was surrounded, it was not only Zhu Neng who was most anxious, but Zhang Yu was also extremely anxious.】
【Zhang Yu had a close friendship with Zhu Di. He couldn't just watch Zhu Di die in the battle, so he made the same choice as Zhu Neng】
【After a bloody battle, Zhang Yu also entered the siege. However, unlike Zhu Neng, Zhang Yu failed to find Zhu Di. He could only lead his army to fight the Southern Army while looking for Zhu Di.】
【But Zhu Di has been rescued by Zhu Neng at this time. How can Zhang Yu find Zhu Di?】
【By the time Zhang Yu realized something was wrong, he was already besieged by Sheng Yong's heavy troops. At this moment, there were only a thousand soldiers around him, and he was even more destitute. No matter how brave he was, he was still just a body of flesh and blood.】
【When Zhang Yu's physical energy was exhausted, the Confederate soldiers who had already killed him swarmed up and chopped Zhang Yu into pieces.】
【Subsequently, the Southern Army pressed forward in a large scale, and the whole army attacked, losing a general like Zhang Yu. In addition, Zhu Di's defeat, the morale of the Yan Army plummeted, and the entire line was shaken. It was defeated by the Southern Army and was completely defeated.】
【Just when Zhu Di retreated hurriedly, Ping An appeared behind Zhu Di like a magic weapon descending from the sky, and launched an attack on Zhu Di's back.】
【Zhu Di, who was previously high-spirited and thought he was invincible, was attacked by Ping An and Sheng Yong from both sides and fled in defeat.】
【In the Battle of Dongchang, Sheng Yong saved the imperial court from being defeated, and also broke the myth that the Yan army was invincible in field battles.】
【He was not afraid of powerful enemies and relied on his own wisdom and courage to successfully defeat the arrogant Zhu Di, turning the situation where the Yan army had the upper hand back into a stalemate between the north and the south.】
【Zhu Di suffered heavy losses in this battle. He could not help but lose tens of thousands of soldiers and horses. Even his top general was killed by Sheng Yong's formation. The morale of the Yan army dropped severely and the vitality of the Yan army was seriously damaged.】
【Zhu Di, who was extremely depressed, could only go to his adviser, the old monk, to discuss how to deal with the situation next.】
【The old monk was unhurried. He first calmed Zhu Di's emotions, and then told Zhu Di that conquering the world cannot be fought for the length of time. This is destined to be a long war.】
【The most important thing at the moment is to boost the morale of the army first, otherwise the morale will be low and the morale of the army will be weakened, and the Yan army will collapse without a fight.】
【Zhu Di asked the old monk how to inspire people. The old monk told Zhu Di that the only way to do this is to use Zhang Yu to inspire the entire army.】
【Zhu Di understood. As his number one general, Zhang Yu had a high prestige among the soldiers. Now that Zhang Yu died in battle and was chopped into pieces, if Zhang Yu could be used to arouse the anger of the entire army, great things could happen.】
【Zhu Di immediately held a grand funeral for Zhang Yu and ordered all his subordinates to attend. At the funeral, Zhu Di cried bitterly and wrote a eulogy for Zhang Yu. He also took off his clothes and burned them in front of Zhang Yuling to express his gratitude. If I don’t take revenge, I swear I won’t be a human being.】
【This move moved all the generals present. They were filled with indignation and expressed their determination to avenge Zhang Yu.】
【After doing all this, Zhu Di felt a little tired. He came to the old monk's temple again. Seeing the old monk's calm look, Zhu Di felt a little relieved.】
【Sometimes he also thinks that if he were not the vassal king and did not raise troops to appease the difficulties, maybe he would not be so tired and have so many troubles.】
【Perhaps Zhu Di was also a little tired of the precarious life of fighting and killing. He expressed his opinion to the old monk with a wry smile: It would be good if he could become a monk like the old monk and not care about worldly affairs.】
【But as soon as he finished speaking, the old monk showed a rare serious expression. He stood up suddenly, came to Zhu Di in a few steps, and then roared angrily: For this plan, it is either life or death. There is no turning back, Your Highness should consider how to succeed, because failure is death!!】
【Zhu Di suddenly woke up. Yes, he could no longer look back.】
【Now that Jingnan is raising his troops, he is already a rebellious minister and a traitor. He is willing to do anything just to win the throne. If he loses, he will die and his family will be destroyed.】
【Zhu Di rekindled his fighting spirit. For those who have no way out, they are not qualified to say the word"give up".】
【Only when he keeps moving forward, only when he reaches the other side, can he be qualified to survive. This is Zhu Di's current situation】
【In March of the third year of Jianwen, Zhu Di regrouped his troops and went south. This time, he wanted to defeat Sheng Yong, so that he could reopen the space for the Yan army to survive.】
【At this moment, Sheng Yong also led an army of 200,000 people to the north. The two sides met at Jiahe. This was the second battle between the two. Life and death were determined by fate, and wealth was in the sky.】
【Zhu Di had to face up to his opponent. It was obvious that Sheng Yong knew him very well, but his understanding of Sheng Yong was almost zero.】
【Zhu Di knew nothing except that Sheng Yong liked crossbows and fire guns, but even so, Zhu Di had to fight in the Battle of Jiahe】
【Early the next morning, Sheng Yong's army marched out of the camp fully armed. His formation was no different from last time. Shields were placed in front of the team and on the left and right wings to prevent the Yan army from raiding. They were also equipped with a large number of firearms and crossbows. To attack the Yan army cavalry】
【But Sheng Yong didn't expect that as soon as he formed the formation, enemy troops rushed over. What made him even more unexpected was that the person charging forward was actually Zhu Di.】
【At this time, Sheng Yong only needed to order his men to fire their bows and crossbows, and he would definitely be able to pierce Zhu Di's heart with thousands of arrows, but he couldn't. The reason was naturally because of what Zhu Yunwen said to Geng Bingwen before: Don't let me kill my uncle. The name】
【Zhu Di swaggered past the formation like this, just like reviewing Sheng Yong's troops, which caused a lot of blow to the morale of the Southern Army. nephew】
【What's even more frightening is that Zhu Di fully understood Sheng Yong's troop formation, and then he was able to launch a targeted attack on the Southern Army. 】
